Energy in Oregon

The U.S. state of Oregon is the third largest renewable energy producing state in the United States.[1] Hydroelectric power dominates the power market in Oregon, providing nearly two-thirds of the electricity generated in the state, although it accounts for less than half of the total percentage consumed when electricity imported from other states is accounted for.[2] Coal is the second largest source of the state's energy portfolio, with much of it being imported from Wyoming and domestic production coming from the Boardman Coal Plant, Oregon's only coal power plant.[3]
